    • The Real Cost of Your Valentine's Day Flowers
      Feb 2 2026

      What is the real cost of your Valentine's flowers?

      This episode uncovers the environmental damage and worker exploitation linked to cut-flowers from Kenya and Ethiopia. We shine a light on the use of harmful pesticides, low wages, and sexual harassment in a crisis that stays out of sight. Learn why these symbols of love often come at the cost of human dignity and environmental health.
